    Food security entails having sufficient, safe, and nutritious food to meet dietary needs. The need to optimise nitrogen (N) use for nutrition security while minimising environmental risks in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) is overdue. Challenges related to managing N use in SSA can be associated with both insufficient use and excessive loss, and thus the continent must address the ‘too little’ and ‘too much’ paradox. Too little N is used in food production (80% of countries have N deficiencies), which has led to chronic food insecurity and malnutrition.

    The climate-smart agriculture (CSA) concept reflects
    an ambition to improve the integration of agriculture
    development and climate responsiveness. It aims to
    achieve food security and broader development goals
    under a changing climate and increasing food demand.
    CSA initiatives sustainably increase productivity, enhance
    resilience, and reduce/remove greenhouse gases (GHGs),
    and require planning to address tradeoffs and synergies
    between these three pillars: productivity, adaptation,

    Rwanda’s variable and changing climate is an increasingly serious challenge to the country’s

    agricultural sector and farming population. Climate information services are emerging as a

    means to support farmers to manage risk and provide an opportunity to build the resilience of

    agriculture to climate at all time scales. Climate services include historical, monitored and

    forecast information, and value-added information products such pest and disease risk

    warnings, crop yield forecasts, or management advisories. The new Rwanda Climate Services

    ? The Rwanda Dairy Competitiveness Program II

    (RDCP) was estimated to have resulted in a

    strong decrease in the GHG emissions intensity

    of milk production, defined as the GHG

    emissions per unit (liter) of milk produced.

    Extensive cattle production systems reduced

    their GHG emission intensity by an estimated -

    4.11 tCO2e per 1000 l of milk (-60%), while

    intensive production systems reduced their

    intensity by an estimated -1.7 tCO2e/1000 l (-

    47%). The decrease in GHG emission intensity
